I bought this switch:
for my novice home network. The problem is that my router doesn’t have an SFP connector nor do I have a cable to connect it with. In my head I should be able to connect my router using an RJ45 cable directly to one of those 8 ports on the switch and it should work temporarily until the day I have a proper router/modem.
So, I’ve got two questions:
- Is it possible for me to connect the router and the switch through an RJ45 ehternet cable directly?
- If not, can I connect it using an RJ45-to-SFP transceptor?
Yes
Probably, provided that the switch supports 10GBASE-T SFP+ modules
